"To most persons who attend a motion picture entertainment, the music is merely an accompani- ment," Mr. de Mille pointed out. But, while music eulances the emotional forces of a dramatic scene and adds to the zest of a comedy moment; there is also a psychological reason of another kind-the silence must be removed. There is sound everywhere about us. Whether we are con- scious of it or not, it is overy- where. We would realize it with tremendous, force if the world wad- denly became silent. With move- ment on the screen we expet. sound-and it is the intelligent preparation of music sultings that this sub-conscions demand for sound is satisfied. In the better -motion-picture-theatrea composiz tion from the classics are used, thua sorving a double purpose--- removing the stence and, at tim same time, creating a tante for good music."
